Digitalis purpurea 'Foxy' (Foxglove). The standard-bearer for biennial foxgloves. Trumpets of red, white and yellow on tall stiff stems. Great vertical accent and cut flower. Deadhead mid-summer to be rewarded with a second bloom.

Excellent long-lived cut flower. Gloves should be worn when handling though, as all parts of the plant can cause irritation. Cut when the lower florets are open and the vase life should be 10-14 days.
